Help asked for Famous planets oxp

It's very odd. Even with the new script I keep seeing the System Redux texture. Only Lave is working and I have a famous_planet2.png. Did you got it working CaptKev?

Try removing System Redux, is it still called zFamous_Planets.oxp?

I will test it without System Redux. But to permanently remove it is no option. Oolite looks so great with SR

. And the OXPname is indeed zfamousplanets.oxp

Although the zzz wheeze works for getting one shipdata (or I think any .plist in Config) entry to overwrite another, I don't think it effects the order in which Scripts are run. Certainly as far as legacy scripts are concerned, Big A has said (when I was trying to stop an Assassins / Thargoid Wars clash) that there's no guanatee the A for Assassins script will be run before T for Thargoid Wars. So it may be one is overwriting the other. Would be no problem if Ultimatley combined in one script as a SystemRedux+FamousPlanets OXP (I'm sure everyone will want to run both anyway!

), but maybe a problem in sepearte scripts.

EDIT : The name of THE SCRIPT itself for famous planets might need to be zzzzzfamousplanets as well? Maybe?

unfortunately creating a world script of zzzzzfamousplanets.js didn't work either, I still don't understand why Lave is working.

Sorry

I was away for more than a week (well not really away but I played some other games. Galactiv CivII (strategy game) and GTR2, R-Factor (both racing sims) mostly.

@CaptKev.
I don't understand either why Lave is working indeed but I still get the System Redux Texture at Zaonce even in the case that the right number is on the right place. I assume it isn't working at your computer either?

Still want to start on this little texture OXP though.

@pagroove,

add the line below to the startUp function in the Famous Planets Script...

Code: Select all

missionVariables.famous_planets = true;

... then download the latest Script for System Reduxhere

Code: Select all

this.startUp = function()
missionVariables.famous_planets = true;

Like this?

And is do you have to replace the original system redux code in the .js file with the new code? (because it looks much shorter)

CaptKev · Post by **CaptKev** » Tue Jun 17, 2008 9:42 pm

@pagroove, I'll send you both the scripts via email.

CaptKev · Post by **CaptKev** » Fri Jun 20, 2008 3:05 pm

@pagroove, Sorry it's taken so long but I've been a bit busy for the last few days, download the new version of Famous Planets here

... then download the Script to your AddOns/System_Redux/Config folder

Sorry CaptKev,

This time I kept you waiting 4 long. Sorry about that. Was busy playing the all new awesome Racedriver Grid!! and Galactic CIV II- Twilight of the Arnor (I recommend it, no I'm not paid by them

)

I installed both scripts and it's finally working. I have now different planets at Lave and Zaonce. Nice texture you made too. Shall I include it as one of the famous planets? For which planet do you prefer your texture?

Yes you can include it, here's a hi-res version (1024 x 512). I'll let you decide what system to use it for.

Ooo, lovely work guys!
OT: did anybody see the video from the development team behind 'Spore' where they showed off their planet generating system?
i think this is it here:

thanks StarGazer! i thought it looked a bit odd!

it starts off like a powerpoint presentation but a bit further on they have a person from their art team showing off their graphics stuff.

can we have this in oolite please?
